Interesting reading on the first true Americans.

From the article: “By showing that the white working class makes up a larger proportion of the electorate than previously reported, the Pew report — taken together with similar results in a study sponsored in November 2017 by the liberal Center for American Progress — strengthens the case made by Democratic strategists calling for a greater emphasis on policies appealing to working class voters and a de-emphasis on so-called identity issues.” 
Translation: Too much time was spent on special interest groups, and not enough time on the white working class.
This is an extremely provocative opinion article.

Dan Wakelin, curator of our Designing English exhibition, told the book’s story on BBC radio this morning. (Skip to 1:21:30)
